Wilczek recognized and advocated for anyons' theoretical importance, especially as applications were found to understanding the quantum Hall effect. Twenty-three of the most impactful articles from 1983 to 1990, including seven by Wilczek and his collaborators, are reprinted in his 1990 book, Fractional Statistics and Anyon Superconductivity [1]}. Space here does not permit my citing them; the reader is referred to [1]}. This influential volume provided a valuable resource for researchers and reviewers of the field across the next decades.
